Abstract:	a multicultural society: the existence of cross-cultural communication barriers which can hinder effective planning. The hypothesis is that communication problems that arise in cross-cultural planning efforts in the Northwest Territories go beyond substantive issues and are deeply-rooted in fundamental differences between White and Native attitudes about decision making processes. In land use planning, communication problems are even further exacerbated by conflicting White and Native attitudes toward land. Anthropological concepts are used to provide insights into the dynamics of cross-cultural interactions. The work of anthropologists and other social scientists, in addition to the author's field experience, is used to synthesize descriptions of "traditional" (i.e. roughly around the turn of the century) and emerging White and Native patterns of decision making. Comparison shows that traditional patterns are fundamentally different, but that emerging patterns-are beginning to converge in significant ways. The author recommends emphasizing the areas where White and Native decision making patterns are beginning to overlap in establishing models of decision making to meet the needs of the new multicultural Northwest Territories society. Some of the problems that have resulted from imposing decision making models based on White values on new northern communities in the 1950's and 1960's are explored. In addition, two sets of minutes are examined to show that communication problems among northern Natives and White government and industry representatives are exacerbated by fundamental differences in cultural values. The implications of this thesis for contemporary decision making issues confronting Northwest Territories residents are explored. Recommendations are made for further testing the hypothesis and for monitoring the effectiveness of cross-cultural communication in northern decision making.

SOMBA K'E/YELLOWKNIFE - It appears that 2009 was a year of less crime in Yellowknife. Calls to the RCMP for 15 specific crimes, including robbery, assaults and theft , decreased in 2009 compared to 2008, according to recent RCMP stats.

Calls for robbery were down by almost half. Statistics naturally vary from year to year, said RCMP Const. Kathy Law, adding that the increased number of RCMP officers in Yellowknife may have led to the decrease.

The detachment was operating with a full staff for most of the year, she said.

"Maybe it's because we have more people out on the roads. Our watches are pretty much full, it means more officers out patrolling." The Crime Reduction Unit, added the summer of 2007, has had an impact, she said.
